Autofocus disabled while recording movies? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

a bunch of Fujifilm's P&S cameras does autofocus in movies, even the older models.

Hi John, Yes, you may turn off Optical Steady Shot/ Image Stabilization on your camcorder. Vincent

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

It can auto focus at one point before recording as long as you use AF lens, but you have to manually focus after.

Sorry I just saw the incoming email. Let me understand first. Are you saying that there is no way to do an "autof" on your camera with the lens? Try half way press the shutter see if the focus can be achieved.

While the camera is in movie mode, you need to press the MENU button on the left upper corner of the back panel of T2i to change the Remote Control to "Enable". The RC-6 switch has to be set up at 2 to start and stop video. The lower switch position takes still pictures after elaborate focusing. I'm filming myself riding a horse for training purposes, so the whole pre-focus issue is moot, since I need the camera to focus on a moving target.

If the AF during video recording is indeed a problem, I would think it would be a relatively easy fix by Nikon with a firmware update. Sounds like the camera IQ is a little sloppy when it comes to deciding when it needs to re-focus during video recording, with either Full AF on or off. I believe with Full AF turned on it is supposed to continuously re-focus and with it turned off it will only re-focus when you zoom in or out.

I have the same question, actually. That's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I would love to get myself in shots, as well as the entire family, but the problem I have now with just using the camera's self-timer is that you can't autofocus on yourself when you're behind the camera! The review I read seems to say that you can't autofocus using just the remote...but B. Babb's response makes me think otherwise. I'm sure someone else out there would care to clarify...

Dear Satish, thank for your enquiry. If understood as camcorders is not present. While you can do the auto-focus, as in the camera reflex, using optical lens Canon with auto-focus function. At the moment the Canon EOS C100 is the only Cine Camera with continuous auto-focus. We remain at your disposal for further information. Sincerely, Manco Professional Video Equipment since 1973 V.

I am familiar with the problem, but don't know the answer. The autofocus is too slow and frustrating when trying to take quick shots. I am looking for a replacement camera.

These are not meant to autofocus. There is no communication from the camera to the lens through the tube. The ISO problem might be a different one, I don't see why having no communication with the lens can affect the camera's ability to change the ISO.

i was always under the impression that putting the attachment on disables the auto-focus completely. My honest opinion, this is an attachment for tri-pod close up on subject camera use.

Not to be stupid, but will this camera pause? I mean can you pause while recording and then start again without it being a new movie? Thanks

By default, Auto Focus is turned on. As soon as you start to record, whatever is in the center of the view finder will come into focus. You can override this behavior by touching the screen to get the camera to track a subject that is not in the center of the screen. This can be done before you start to record, and the subject will then become focused. In low light conditions, or when shooting a scene with multiple subjects, it's a good idea to select the primary subject before recording. Besides focus, the camera will also adjust exposure to match the subject selected. In low light, I've found that selecting the subject brightens the scene the way I want.

Yes but you will not get all of the benefits of the new STM lenses if you are looking for autofocus while shooting video.

AutoFocus was fine. Some circumstances, e.g., bird watching, require manual focus.

To my knowledge there isn't any way to manually focus these cameras. I bought mine as a refurbished unit and it has an incredibly clear image. You might have to contact Samsung.
